Trip carried out on October 13, 2024 as part of the FEEC excursion monitor training. The route has a distance of approximately 7.5 km (although I marked the track a little more because of the stops and detours to take some photos). It takes around 4 hours to complete due to multiple stops to change guides, discover plates and animal remains. Without so many stops you can easily do it in 3 hours. The route does not have any technical difficulties, although there are two or three steps that require the assistance of the guide in case the person does not have good flexibility. The vegetation is dominated by oaks and pines, white in the sunny areas and red in the shady ones. There are many bushes typical of the Mediterranean climate, such as rosemary, boxwood or steppe. Poplar and some willow can be found near the reservoir water. The reserve is particularly known for its birdlife. It hosts species such as the barred eagle, the common vulture, the great cormorant that use the area as a resting and nesting point. You can also find mammals such as wild boars and foxes, as well as reptiles typical of the Mediterranean area.
